TAU'T BATO: TRIBES IN THE PHILIPPINES

Tau't Batu
The Tau’t Batu or Tao't Bato or Taaw't Bato (translate's to "people of the rock" in English) are indigenous people located in some high lying areas on Mt. Mantalingajan. As of right now, most of them are still using the ancient mode of living, like hunting and farming. They also use caves as their home but some already have houses made of light and sturdy materials like nipa, coconut leaves and woods. During our visit, I noticed that most of the women use cloth to cover their bodies while shirts and G-strings for the men. READ: MT. MANTALINGAJAN
